"A child always pays attention to the details in a story that adults consider unimportant. If we first tell the story that the main character was warned by three people who appeared on the left side of the road, but next time only one person comes, also on the right side of the road, then the child will surely protest - and he is right. We think it doesn't matter because we don't experience the story in the least.

A child always pays attention to the details in a story that adults consider unimportant.

We think it doesn't matter because we don't experience the story in the least.
""A gyerek mindig azokra a részletekre figyel egy történetben, amelyeket a felnőttek lényegtelennek tartanak. Ha először úgy meséljük el, hogy a főhőst három emberke figyelmeztette, akik az út bal oldalán tűntek fel, legközelebb viszont csak egy emberke jön, az is az út jobb oldalán, akkor a gyerek bizony tiltakozni fog - és igaza is van. Azt hisszük, mindez nem számít, mert a legkevésbé sem éljük meg a történetet."
